Welty As A Feminist Optimist Daughter Life

Reading the optimist's daughter at first under
whelmed me. I, at the very beginning, started to
complain and say '' What a bore! a Boring story!
Boring characters! Utterly devoid of any
interesting or meaningful moments''. However, I
changed my mind totally by finishing it as a
whole. When I knew how Laurel went on her life, I
realized how things go a whole lot deeper. I

Understanding the Elegy: The Darkest Form of
Poetry I would like to start by saying that elegy
is a mournful or plaintive poem; a funereal song;
a poem of lamentation that was called forth by a
decease of a close friend or relative as shown by
a pathos style of mortality. Elegy from the Greek
means funeral and mourn. One should not forget
that the earliest Greek elegies which we know of
today are not funeral, yet indeed show something
of a primitive nature which relates to the burial
ceremony. I...

Extreme circumstances bring about substantial
changes in people. At least that is what Paul

place their characters in difficult locations,
dealing with difficult people and expect them to
emerge changed, for better or for worse. In The

Hamlet: Contrast Plays A Major Role In William
Shakespeare's Hamlet, contrast plays a major role.
Characters have foils, scenes and ideas contrast
each other, sometimes within the same soliloquy.

somber mood in the second half. The scene opens
with two clowns, who function as a sort of comic
relief. This is necessary, after the tension of
